Very nice concept. I hadn't heard of SoundGecko. I'll need to check it out.

po84on IPython gets $1.15M funding

You can import notebooks in other notebooks if you turn on the option to autosave your ipynb files as .py files too.

1. In ipython_notebook_config.py, set the following:

# Save .py for each notebook for import elsewhere

c.NotebookManager.save_script = True

2. Restart your notebook server. 3. Save any notebooks you'd like to import under module friendly names. (They wind up in the same dir as the ipynb files.) 4. In your interactive notebook, import your_other_notebook.

This works well when all your notebooks are in the same folder, which is the default. I haven't given much thought to how you might create packages this way, but perhaps with a few code changes you could?
